We are currently looking for a highly motivated dynamic individual to join the Torfaen Adult Mental Health Social Work Team within Adult Services. The post is 37 hours. Adult Services is a multi‑disciplinary division that works together with partner agencies to meet the social care needs of adults who experience mental distress within Torfaen.

The successful candidate will need to be a registered social worker and an Approved Mental Health Professional (AMHP) is desirable. If not, Torfaen Council has an explicit expectation that the successful candidate will undertake the AMHP course. The candidate will have experience of a wide range of social care processes and excellent assessment and risk‑management skills.

The ability to work effectively as part of a team is a key factor. In return, we will provide you with a supportive environment with good opportunities to develop your career.
